Daylight saving time

I`m sure glad we don`t have daylight saving time change to mess with on Sunday! I never did see any sense in that!

I always heard that Sask didn't have it because the premier's wife was worried the extra hour would fade her drapes quicker.....

Honestly I think things would be simpler if DST was adopted year round. I like being able to go for a round of golf or make some miles on the bike and not have to worry about running out of sunlight by 8.

I like the idea of never changing the clocks, period, like we have now.

I would also prefer DST year round.

The only thing worse than changing clocks is - when some change and some dont. Its a PITA when doing business out of your own time zone >> are we same time, or hour behind, or were they 2 hours difference, or now one hour.... senseless!!!

A nice hump day here, just barely below freezing.
No paddles, I knew I forgot something!

I don't think it even froze here last night and now the sun is coming out so it should start melting real good here this afternoon.

It's snowing here again. Just started to clear some spots in the yard. Now got 2ft snow drifts. I wonder if I will get out in the morning for work.

I rather stya DST here. The majority like it the way it is.
Certain business politicians want to change it as some business men. I say leave it alone. It has been here for over a hundred years now.
I don't find it that hard to figure time zones for calling persons in other parts of Canada.
So I'm quite happy not changing my clocks.
